Chapter 27: Really Acting Like the Mistress

Gu Qili: "…"

"You can't seriously think of yourself as the lady of the house, can you?" His voice was full of sarcasm, and the tablet in his hand seemed to have grown smaller, "Just because you cooked once and brought me medicine once, you think you can act as the owner? Don't forget, we're only related by a piece of paper."

"You misunderstood." Gu Qili straightened her back, but her eyes were filled with a bitter pain. Did he really think of her this way? If she wanted to climb the social ladder by using him, wouldn't she have made her move much earlier? She wasn't that low.

"I didn't bring my dictionary, I just wanted to use your computer to look up a word." Gu Qili suppressed the sourness in her eyes. For some reason, she felt incredibly wronged. He was right, they were just related by a piece of paper after all, why should she care so much? She was already used to his cold and harsh words and wouldn't take them to heart.
